If you were to take a look at the online manual from Sony Computer Entertainment you will notice labels. The labels are PSP-1000  for the old PSP fat series. PSP-2000 for the Slim that came out last year, and now there have been spottings of a PSP-3000 label in the manual. This could very well indicate a new re-design for Sony’s favorite portable handheld, but do we really need another model just after the slim? (Label can be found here)
